"Bottled-Water banned to save environment"
The Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) has sent a memo to staff saying bottled-water will no longer be provided at its 120 offices - and encouraging staff to avoid buying their own.
The Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) estimated about 200ml of oil is used to produce each litre bottle of water, including in the plastic, transportation and refrigeration
The decision to scrap bottled-water was made on environmental grounds and extends to communal chilled water dispensers.
"The environmental costs of bottled-water, producing, transporting, refrigerating and disposing of the bottles, have led DECC to eliminate all non-essential bottled water purchases from the department," the spokesman said.
